while i don’t disagree with you at all, it’s not just from the right. the whole anti-vaccination movement started on the opposite side of the political rainbow.
It started everywhere, for every liberal hippy mom there was a christian conservative mom home schooling their kid to avoid vaccine requirements of public schools.
This transcends politics, humans are dumb fearful critters.
yeah, agreed. that was the point i was trying to make to the parent comment — that this behavior isn’t exclusive to the “right” or “left.” it’s a people problem. or, more exactly, it’s a religion problem (not in the sense of spiritual faiths, but in the tendency for people to seek out and congregate around a shared system of beliefs.. and then stick to those beliefs beyond all reason).
It's not exclusive to right or left but we need to look at which side has the anti-science momentum going on. Which side has leaders who advocate injecting bleach to kill Covid?
